The Pyatigorsk Chamber of Commerce and Industry is the initiator of the Northern Caucasus forum, which is being held for the third time. Export growth in the North Caucasus has become the subject of our forum.

Our goal is to determine and create the necessary conditions for both Russian and foreign businesses to define the ways and prospects of development of this area as one of the national projects.

Our forum brings together a lot of interesting people whose opinion is worth listening to. The expert community will allow to develop balanced opinions on various areas of economic development.

The main objective of the region’s economy, not only to provide our market with industrial and agricultural products, but also we must offer high-quality competitive products that are in demand both in Russian and world markets.

Education, application of state support measures, removal of administrative barriers, attraction of investments and development of priority business sectors of the region are of great importance for development and increase of competitiveness of the region’s business.

I express my gratitude to all those who, despite the difficult economic situation, found the strength and opportunity to participate in the forum.

I would like to wish the participants fruitful work at the forum which will lead to conclusion of new contracts, development of projects and directions that will raise the region to a new level!
